Comments:

The unifying theme of Irish songs (in subject and style) makes this a very nice retrospective of Mary Black's work (mostly solo, but one track from (The Black Family) is included). Fans of traditional music will find this album a pleasure to hear. (JoAnn Whetsell)

Comments:

One of Mary's most engaging albums. Not as pop as Shine, but a much better mix of bright, joyous upbeat songs and slower, more melancholy ones than on some of her older albums. Includes a heartbreaking cover of Sting's "Fields of Gold." (JoAnn Whetsell)
